The Wedding Takes Place.

CA1oAao, Feb. 2.-The Telegram,
the labor organ of the city, states
that Augusta Spies was married by
proxy to Nina Van Zandt last Satur-
day night in the office of Justice En-
glehardt in the town of Jefferson, a
few miles from this city. Spies was
represented by his brother Henry w
Spies. Justice Englehardt had given
the parties interested an opinion to
the effect that marriage by proxy
would be binding in law, if the proxy
was made in legal form. ~.
He was commissioned to draw ur
form of proxy which was taxed to
August Spies in Jail, and he signed
it in the presence of four witnesses
by the document he gave full authori-
ty to his brothe Henry to represent
him at the marriage ceremony. II
is stated that Miss Van Zandts's OBJ
iect in having this questionable
ceremony performed, it is stated, is
to be able as the wife of Spies to Wis
it him in the country jail.
Justice Engelhardt, in an interview
last night, confirmed the report and
admitted that he performed the cere.
mony. Miss Gretchen Spies, also
admitted that the statement was
true.

IN ERROR.

&
The Charleston correspondent OF
the Wheeling htelligesacev, commits
a gross error in attacking the per-
sonal character and standing OF Hon.
e. Boyd Faulkner. He must have
coined his assertions in his own
mind, or has been led astray by the
malice oil. a personal enemy An ac-
quaintance OF twenty-one years, on
the opposite side of politics, constant
intercourse in and out of Court, era
bles us to say that we have always
found and knew him to be honorable
and trustworthy. and always ready
to assert and maintain his opinion
withoutregard to consequences. He
occupies close business and social
relations with the leading citizens of
Berkeley county, ofboth parties, and
we do not know a single person, OF
good standing in this community,
who will hesitate a moment to en-
.dorse and approve Mr.. Faulkner as
q worthy gentleman, and active, en-
terprislng citizen.

Foraker has publicaily announced
that on account of professional BUSH
ness, that he will under no circum

His declaration causes considerable
interest in political circles. AD eff

startling rumor is that he may re-
sign, to take advantage of the re-
moval of Judge Hoadley to New
York, and go to Cincinnati at once.
The governor denies the report that
he has lost a large sum of money
through Tennessee land speculation.

For the fifth time it has been defeat
cd by one or the other chamber of

House by vote of IS to 10, an un.
precedented majority, but in the
Senate, composed of26 members, on

thus lacking three of the constitu-

Looking to Republicans For Relief.

The Democratic House of Repre-.
sentatives is less kindly, less just,
than the Republican Senate. There
is the pinch. 1t is in the house OF
our friends that we are stabbed,
whether by malice or inadvertence.
Our hope is in the Senate. The
Democrats there with Senators Hoar

cans will surely not stand on form,
bit will amend the River and Har-
Dor bill so as to give Charleston the
Senate's 100000, in addition to the
Houses pittance.- Charleston Neaos
